    Change Log:
    1. New 'Shutdown' variable in 'Software\WinRAR\Policy' registry key allows to disable "Turn PC off when done" option for security reasons. Read "Configuration settings/Registry variables" for more details.
    2. Program Compatibility Assistant in Windows 7 will not display an erroneous "This program might not have installed correctly" message after closing RAR SFX archives created by this beta.
    3. Improved compatibility with high DPI Windows display mode.
    4. Bugs fixed:
    a) beta 3 did not display archiving commands in context menu if user selected several archives;
    b) beta 3 did not handle 'LongLink' records in TAR archives correctly;
    c) recovery record based repair did not work correctly in previous beta versions;
    d) beta 3 could display a folder icon for archived files without a file extension.

    Hope it helps!

    Cin ;) :)

    Anyone else find it just a bit irksome that the "Beta" is the primarily advertised one? You have to go all the way down to "Localized versions" and then find your language for the non-beta version. I noticed another compression utility with the same "beta" tag on their only-easy-to-get version tonight, too. Certainly not something I want if I'm going to be compressing my files and wanting them in the future.

    Switched to 7-zip tonight to avoid the inevitably WinRar nag screens and to have a non-beta product for compression.
